    10/05/2021
    Q
    Single or Multi Feed action with Selontra Rodent Bait Rodenticide?
    Is this a single feed or multi feed bait? The description seems to claim single feed but it's in an 8 lb bucket and Federal law requires all single feed sold in no less than 16lb buckets since about 2011. Just curious.
    A

    In rats and mice, the consumption of a lethal dose of Selontra causes the affected rodent to stop feeding after approximately 24 hours and able to kill with a single dose.  Second generation baits are restricted in 16 lbs or more, Selontra is a first generation and can be sold in 4 lbs or more.
